I can’t recommend Lynne enough. She was wonderfully calm, nurturing and reassuring. She listened to my fears and concerns after my previous traumatic birth and both my partner and I felt supported throughout.

I would love to be your Doula!

What is a

doula?

A doula provides continuous support for the whole family through pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood. Filling a role that new mothers and families have always needed, we are there to listen, give confidence and not judge.

Why have a doula?

The evidence shows that having a doula can mean:

Reduced risk of Caesarean birth
Reduced need for painkillers/epidural during birth
Reduced rate of induction of labour
Increased parental satisfaction with the birth experience
